Forest Structure and Structural Dynamics of Virgin Beech Forests in Slovakia [PDF]
, 2022 European beech (Fagus sylvatica L.) forests gain a special interest in Central Europe. The highly competitive species would most likely achieve dominance within a wide range of site conditions. Understanding the natural structure and dynamics of beech forests is of great importance for forest ecosystem research from both a conservation and management ...

Integrating forest structural diversity measurement into ecological research
Ecosphere, 2023 The measurement of forest structure has evolved steadily due to advances in technology, methodology, and theory. Such advances have greatly increased our capacity to describe key forest structural elements and resulted in a range of measurement ...

Global humid tropics forest structural condition and forest structural integrity maps [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2019 AbstractRemotely sensed maps of global forest extent are widely used for conservation assessment and planning. Yet, there is increasing recognition that these efforts must now include elements of forest quality for biodiversity and ecosystem services. Such data are not yet available globally.

Sentinel-2 time series analysis for monitoring multi-taxon biodiversity in mountain beech forests
Frontiers in Forests and Global Change, 2023 Biodiversity monitoring represents a major challenge to supporting proper forest ecosystem management and biodiversity conservation. The latter is indeed shifting in recent years from single-species to multi-taxon approaches.

Evaluation of Forest Edge Structure and Stability in Peri-Urban Forests [PDF]
Forests, 2020 In the presented research, we studied the forest edge structure of urban and peri-urban forests on the outskirts of Ljubljana (Slovenia) consisting of a number of patches covering the collective surface of 1884 ha. They differ from each other according to the degree of fragmentation and by the share of the interior forest area.
